Well, just for the heck of it, I googled her & my first hit was a
blind author who just won a 2008 regency award. So I wrote & asked if
she submitted the book & am awaiting a reply. I mean, how common is
the name Laurie Alice Eakes? Mayrie, I also invited her to our
writers' group--hope u don't mind.
While on the subject of writing to blind authors, I also sent a note
to Jim Stovall & asked him if he'd be interested in donating his books
to Bookshare--I'm validating "ultimate life" but there are characters
& words missing &, as always, I'm concerned about doing it justice. &,
Mayrie, just for the heck of it, I invited him to our writers' group,
too. I hope they don't both show up at the same time--yeah, right! But
wouldn't it be fun if published authors, especially blind ones who
face common problems with us, would visit us & share their writing
tips? I think it'd be an absolute gas, allbeit terribly intimidating!
Ok, booksharians, I've done my bit for the good of the organization
today. Off to do some different stuff now.
